Don't remember Donkey Kong Country ever being that high, nor original NES Donkey Kong. Those and DKC 2 obviously getting a nostalgia boost from Donkey Kong Country Returns! Or from those wanting to discover the magic of them for the first time!

One new game. Last weeks new comer Secret of Mana leaves the list for Double Dragon.

The biggest climber is Donkey Kong with six spots form 14 to 8. Maybe Donkey Kong Country Returns has something to do with it. Or maybe a lot of red Wii's were sold. Theye were heavily advertised in Holland.

We have four biggest droppers. Pac-Man, Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Paper Mario all loose two spots.

Two new games: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels returns at 16th place, along with Kirby Super Star at the bottom place, 20th. The two games out are Star Fox 64 (16th last week) and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (17th). Our biggest climber is Punch Out!! Featurin Mr. Dream with six spots, from 19th to 13th; and the biggest dropper is Yoshi's Story with seven spots, from 12th to 19th.

Very little change this week. No newcomers or drop-outs. There isn't even any change from last week until you get to number 13, and then the order is changed minimally. While several games gained or lost multiple spots, the week's big winner, Donkey Kong Country 2, up 2 spots to 13. Big loser, Galaga, down 2 spots to 19.

The lists come when you make them. I mostly make them on a Thursday. Just a few hours before the new releases come out and enough time to see what impact the last weeks new releases have on the sales.

Ah, I thought the Popular Titles were updated once a week or something. Think I'm gonna go with Wednesdays and Thursdays from now on. ^^ Even though it probably hasn't changed much this time, since it's only been three days.

Again, only marginal change over a one-week period. Super Mario 64 gains two spots, taking the number 6 spot from Donkey Kong and giving Mario 5 games in the top 6. Ocarina of Time climbs into the top ten at number 10, while Mario Kart 64 switches places with it from the prior week, falling to 11. So far, the same 20 games have been in the top 20 since I started doing the U.S. rankings December 2nd.

We have two new entries here: Paper Mario returns at 17th place (becoming also the biggest climber this week), along with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at 20th place. With this, we say goodbye to Yoshi's Story (19th last week) and Kirby Super Star (20th). Anyone droped more than two places, so there is no biggest dropper in this list.

Only one new game: Yoshi's Story returns to the chart at 19th place, leaving out Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (16th last week and biggest dropper). The biggest climber is Super Metroid with six places, from 18th place to 12th.

It'll be interesting to see what effect Mario Party 2 has on the top 20 in the U.S. and other places it's released over time. Looking forward to making a top 20 with even 1 different game in it! Well, I made my contribution to Mario Party 2's U.S. climb.

Well, that answers the question of how much impact Mario Part 2 would have on the Top 20. It debuted in the top 10, at number 8, making it the big winner of the week. That now makes 7 games with Mario, just in the top 10. And with a newcomer, that meant a game had to drop out, and that was SMB.: The Lost Levels. Joining it as a big loser for the week, Donkey Kong Country 2, which dropped 5 spots, from 13th to 18th. Something else I found worth noting is that there are only 2 non-Nintendo games in the top 20 (Pac-Man & Galaga).
